Real Estate, Precious Metals (I like American Eagles), Food Ammo, Pay off the Mortgage, any other hard assets or emergency supplies that will appreciate as inflation goes up. Stuff like flour, salt, baking soda, honey etc will last forever, and the prices will go up.
Heck I even bought a bunch of powdered canned milk. It’s good for 20 years. Figured out to be $3 per gallon. Milk is now over $4 in our local stores. So I use the powdered for baking and cooking - it’s not bad for drinking either especially when it’s really cold.
I liquidated over half of my stocks. The rest I let ride - Que Sera Sera.
I do have some cash stashed in case the ATM goes down. I keep a few month’s of payments in the same bank that I owe money. So if they don’t allow access, I plan to tell them to get their payment due from that. Might work. Might not. C’est la vie.
All good ideas. I have to wait to move to buy real estate - but it’s getting closer! 10 months and counting now. We will buy a primary home when we find one, though. Soon hopefully. Found what appeared to be a good one until the inspection reports came back - it would’ve been a money pit and probably not lasted the 30 more years I am planning on living!
I have so much food stored. We were storing a bunch at the cabin (lower temperatures). Since we sold it, all the food storage is in one bedroom so I can see physically just how much I have. And have to move it all! But....the wheatberries were under $30 when I bought them and now they are closer to $50. egads!
Have silver. Have ammo. Have to wait to move to buy more (heavy to move).
But I’ll have all that on my list to get more of when I see what storage facilities I have. (A basement! I can’t wait!)
Have some cash as well. And have a little at each local bank here, in case each limits how much I can get out. GREAT idea to have a loan at a bank where you have deposits. VERY clever idea ;)
When we move, I’ll have no loans so can’t use that idea. Not yet anyway.
And what I really want is like what you have - gardening room and pastures for animals so I can be self-sufficient. That would give me more peace of mind that anything I can buy or store :)
